6N6T vs. 6N6P

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I have a very nice Chinese made tube tuner which uses Chinese 6N6T tubes. They appear to be physically the same as the Russian 6N6P, but I am not 100% sure. The circuit in the tuner seems to show the same pinout as a 6N6P (it's a cathode follower, it seems), but again i would hate to be wrong.
The problem is 6N6T are rare in the West, and I can only find them at www.audiotriodes.com in France. Supposedly a pair is making its way to me now. If I can use 6N6P, I would have lots of stock to choose from.
Does anyone know a place in New England where I can bring the two tubes to be put on the tube tester to ascertain if these are fully compatible?
I have not found any actual information on the Chinese 6N6T that actually states the pinout and operating parameters.
